Moving trucks have loaded up and are headed to Florida and Arizona and players are trickling into camps. The first official workouts for pitchers and catchers aren't scheduled until Feb. 14 (for the Orioles, Tigers, Phillies, Pirates, Cardinals and Blue Jays in Florida and Diamondbacks, Cubs, Angels, Mariners and Padres in Arizona). Pitchers and catchers for the other teams are set to hold their first workouts by Feb. 17, and all full squads will work out by Feb. 23.

The New York Daily News' Anthony McCarron is on the ground in Tampa, site of Yankees camp, where catching hopeful and top prospect Jesus Montero is already parked with many young players. New Yankees catcher Russell Martin is also there, but reports he's not 100% healthy yet. (He had offseason knee surgery.) Martin played catch with Yankees captain Derek Jeter Tuesday.

Jeter is coming off a career-worst season in which he hit .270 with 10 homers, 67 RBI and a .340 on-base percentage.

"I've always been pretty good in my career in terms of forgetting about previous seasons, whether it was a good season or a bad season," Jeter said Monday, according to the Associated Press. "You have to forget about it and move on."

The Indians, who loaded up for camp in Goodyear last week, got some encouraging news Tuesday that prized young catcher Carlos Santana, who is scheduled to work out for the first time Feb. 17, is expected to go full speed at the outset of camp. He is coming off offseason knee surgery.

Tired of snow in the Midwest and Northeast? McCarron is still wearing a fleece in Tampa but Abraham reports from Fort Myers: "It's 60 degrees here and headed to 71."
